Return to Ryloth (invite only)

[sophiam]

/me A small fighter drops out of hyperspace in orbit of Ryloth. The pilot looks upon the planet with saddened eyes, his cowl covering his face. The fighter drops into the atmosphere and is soon flying over the surface of the arid planet. A large settlement comes into view and the fighter slows it's speed. Landing just on the outskirts the canopy opens and the pilot steps out. For a moment, he stands, watching the city. Then, against the wind, he enters the main gates. A large built twi'lekk male steps forward...
There's a toll for walking these streets stranger.
/me He says in a deep voice. The leatherbound hand reaches out and the twi'lekk falls to his knees, gasping for breath. The cowled figure continues on his way, his destination known only to him.

[sophiam]

/me As he walks through the streets many citizens look on but some dare to meet his dark gaze. A group of older twi'lekk see him and they start to talk among themselves...
I told you, didn't I....
I didn't think it would be this soon...
But he has returned. This is not good...
We better make ourselves gone. If he starts up, I do not want to be around...
/me The group moves on down an alley while the figure proceeds along the street.

[sophiam]

/me He comes to a complex of habitat dwellings and stops. His head turns to a far corner and the door there opens. He walks over to it slowly and stops before he goes in. Once inside he lowers his cowl and casts his eyes over the room. A youngish twi'lekk female steps out of a room and drops what she is carrying. She looks at him half scarred but risks a greeting.
De wanna wanga...
/me She says, her voice quivering.
De wanna we goa.
/me He says. His voice rasps against her mind as she picks up the now broken filter assembly, not letting her eyes move from him.

[sophiam]

/me The girl hurrys and puts the mechanism away. She goes to a cabinate and takes out a crystal. She bows to him and enters the room she came from, a moment later a taller, older male twi'lekk comes out with the crystal in hand. He is wearing a dark robe, the hood down and his lekku tied back. He kneels in front of him and bows his head.
I felt your return my Master, is it yet time?
/me his voice is deep and holds a certain command to it.
The time is close. The council is in disarray. Most of the Masters are too preoccupied with their own affairs to see who walks amongst them. Rise my apprentice.
/me The twi'lekk stands. His Master is noticably taller than him.
What are your orders Master?

[sophiam]

/me The Master walks into the centre of the room and the Apprentice follows a pace behind.
Tell me Lord Reign, have you learned all that I have taught you? Do you study your enemy? Do you know their weaknesses?
/me Lord Reign places a hand on his sabrestaff hilt.
Yes Master. I have studied our enemy with passion.

[sophiam]

Good. I shall return to the council and contact you when it is time.
/me The Master places his left hand on Lord Reign's shoulder and Reign bows. The Master leaves and walks back to the fighter on the outskirts. He gets in and leaves the planet, safe in the knowledga that his apprentice still follows his teachings.
